Dining at Casino de Montréal
Loto-Québec runs Casino de Montréal on Île Notre-Dame, facing the Old Port, and the place is as much a dinner address as a gaming floor. Three restaurants publish their hours, from a lunch buffet to a deli counter that serves until 3:30 a.m.

The tables
Three tables, two pavilions
On October 9, 1993, Casino de Montréal opened its doors in what had been the French pavilion of Expo 67. It later took over the former Québec pavilion, and its restaurants now sit in both buildings.
Grill and seafood belong to Le Montréal, set on the Pavillon du Québec's Level A. Over in the Pavillon de la France, Level 5 holds two rooms with little in common. Pavillon 67 is a buffet that serves lunch every day and dinner from Thursday to Sunday. L'Instant, the deli and pasta counter, stays open until 3:30 a.m. and runs without a break from Friday to Monday.
All three are inside the casino, and all three are 18+, like the bars and the Cabaret du Casino. The guide describes no dish the venue does not name, and gives no stars.

Only original photo ID will do; a photocopy or a picture of ID on a phone is refused. Staff can request government-issued photo ID from anyone who seems 25 or younger.
